句意：大多数动物和其他种类的动物联系很少，除非它们捕杀其作为食物。animals在这里是泛指，可直直接用复数名词，所以不加冠词。of a different kind是固定词组，泛指任一“不同一类的”。故本题应选B。

第2题：
Most animals have little connection with animals of different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however, two kinds of animals come together in a partnership ( 伙伴关系 ) which does good to both of them. You may have noticed some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites (寄生虫 ) on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they remove the cause of discomfort. So although they can manage without each other, they do better together.
Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot manage without each other. This is so in the corals ( 珊瑚 ) of the sea. In their skins they have tiny plants act as "dustman", taking some of the waste products form. the corals and giving in return oxygen which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are ever prevented from lighting so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.
1、Some birds like to sit on a sheep because ( ).
A、they can eat its parasites
B、 they depend on the sheep for existence
C、 they enjoy traveling with the sheep
D、 they find the position most comfortable
2、The underlined word "they" in the last sentence of the first paragraph refers to ( ).
A、birds and parasites
B、birds and sheep
C、parasites and sheep
D、sheep, birds and parasites
3、What does the second paragraph mainly discuss? ( )
A、Some animals and plants depend on each other for existence.
B、 Some animals and plants develop their relationship easily.
C、 Some plants depend on each other for foo
D、 Some animals live better together.
4、What does this article talk about? ( )
A、Two kinds of animals for a partnership.
B、Most animals only have connection with animals.
C、The connection between the living things.
D、Corals have some connection with plants.

第3题：
Part C
Directions: Read the following text carefully and then translate the underlined segments into Chinese. Your translation should be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET II. ( 10 points)
Do animals have rights.'? This is how the question is usually put. It sounds like a useful, ground clearing way to start. 46) Actually, it isn't, because it assumes that there is an agreed account of human rights, which is something the world does not have.
On one view of rights, to be sure, it necessarily follows that animals have none. 47) Some philosophers argue that rights exist only within a social contract, as part of an exchange of duties and entitlements. Therefore, animals cannot have rights. The idea of punishing a tiger that kills somebody is absurd, for exactly the same reason, so is the idea that tigers have rights. However, this is only one account, and by no means an uncontested one. It denies rights not only to animals but also to some people—4or instance to infants, the mentally incapable and future generations.
In addition, it is unclear what force a contract can have for people who never consented to it, how do you reply to somebody who says "I don' t like this contract" ?
The point is this: without agreement on the rights of people, arguing about the rights of animals is fruitless. 48 ) It leads the discussion to extremes at the outset: it invites you to think that animals should be treated either with the consider- ation humans extend to other humans, or with no consideration at all. This is a false choice. Better to start with another, more fundamental, question: is the way we treat animals a moral issue at all?
Many deny it. 49) Arguing from the view that humans are different from animals in every relevant respect, extremists of this kind think that animals lie outside the area of moral choice.
Any regard for the suffering of animals is seen as a mistake—a sentimental displacement of feeling that should properly be directed to other humans.
This view which holds that torturing a monkey is morally equivalent to chopping wood, may seem bravely "logical". In fact it is simply shallow: the confused center is right to reject it. The most elementary form. of moral reasoning—the ethical equivalent of learning to crawl—is to weigh others' interests against one's own. This in turn requires sympathy and imagination: without there is no capacity for moral thought. To see an animal in pain is enough, for most, to engage sympathy. 50)When that happens, it is not a mistake: it is mankind' s instinct for moral reasoning in action, an instinct that should be encouraged rather than laughed at.

第一篇
How Animals Keep Warm
Man has invented ways to keep warm,but how do animals defend themselves?They
cannot reason in the sense that man can,but nature has taken care of the animal kingdom
by providing animals with special instincts（本能）.One of these instincts is known as
hibernation（冬眠）.
" Sleeping like a dormouse（棒睡鼠）"is not only a common saying but is a reality.
When winter comes,the dormouse and other hibernating animals have reached a well-
nourished state.They eat very well in warmer days laying down fat in the tissues of their
bodies and during hibernation this keeps them alive.Safe in their nests,or burrows（地
洞）,they sleep soundly until the warmth of spring arrives.
Bats,tortoises,snakes,frogs,even insects like butterflies,hibernate more or less
completely. Some, like the squirrels（松鼠）,sleep during coldest weather but are roused
（弄醒）by a warm spell（暖流）.During hibernation, the temperature of an animal's body
drops drastically.Breathing and heart-beats almost cease.
Another instinctive method of avoiding intense cold is to escape by means of migration.
Wild swans,seagulls,swallows and cuckoos are a few of the very many kinds of birds
which fly thousands of miles,twice a year,to avoid cold.Many animals,especially those
of the Arctic regions,have summer and winter quarters.The Arctic deer of North America,
as well as the reindeer（驯鹿）of Europe,move southward towards the forests when winter
approaches.They return to the northern area when the warmth of spring begins to be
sensed.
There are animals which do not attempt to leave at the first sign of winter cold.Their
instinctive means of defense is to dig out a deep burrow,made it soft and warm by padding
（填塞）out with straw,leaves,moss and fur. In it they have a"secret place"containing
food which they hope will last the winter through!Animals which fall into this class include
the Arctic fox,the rabbit and the little field-mouse."Sleeping like a dormouse"most probably means
A:sleeping longer on cold days.
B:sleeping badly.
C:sleeping with a lower heartbeat rate.
D:sleeping with little breathing,答案：A解析： -

问题是:如对人的权利没有一致的意见,去争论动物的权利是没有结果的。只会一开始就把讨论引向极端。它使人们认为应这样对待动物:要么像对人类自身一样关切体谅,要么对它们冷漠无情。这是一种错误的选择。有人认为从人与动物在各相关方面都不同,持这种极端看法的人会认为对待动物无须考虑道德问题。任何对动物的遭遇的关心都被认为是错误的,是把自己的感情放错了地方,因为这种感情应当放到其他人身上。但是道德观的最基本一条是将心比心。对大多数人来说,看到动物受罪足以引起人的同情。这种反应并不是错误,而是人用道德观念进行推理的本能在起作用。这种本能应当得到鼓励而不应遭到嘲笑。解析：
【翻译要点】
本题涉及到词类转换，词类转换主要是名词。相对说来，英语依靠名词组句要比汉语多一点，而汉语是通过动词的集结来表达的。这样在翻译中，就有一个转换的问题。该题第四句中提到extremists（极端分子），如不读原文，根本弄不懂“极端分子”指什么。显然是误译。从第二句提到的It leads the discussion to extremes，可知extremists of this kind是指“持这类极端观点的人”，并不是“极端分子”。英语中有用表示身份的名词来表达一个人的动作的特点，因此此处extremists不宜译成名词，而应译成动作意义：有人认为人与动物在各相关方面都不同，持这种极端看法就会认为对待动物无须考虑道德问题。 -
